Ninja did not invent the idea of breaking into an opponent's camp, stealing his clothes, and impersonating him, nor the much more practical idea of stealing your opponent's supplies, but they are tactics that Shu is well versed in. While the setting has changed, and the security measures are different- and even the supplies themselves are newfangled and odd to his reckoning, Shu doesn't see why such a plan shouldn't work.

4. Bug out.<br>
 
 
It is a simple plan, but with the right preparation it should be effective. Aside from dealing a blow to the cabal's enemies, it would secure them some much needed supplies, and possibly even some intel.

Ninjaology

Alright, so two years prior to the current game date, Shu's clan was killed by ninjas under a technocracy/order of reason contract. For whatever reason this triggered some sort of psychic feedback and Shu forgot how to use the Mind Sphere and Do- and became a ninja. He was an akashic FIRST, and then a ninja second.

When he got thrown into the modern world, he began returning to being an Akashic, because he can't get by being a ninja alone- so that means relearning the Mind Sphere, and Do, and focusing on more akashic things.


His current concept is that he's an Akashic warrior- honorable to a code of his own- and he believes that the technocracy needs to be defeated in order to do the other stuff he needs to do. His Story is about rediscovering the pieces of himself that he's lost, and figuring out what he needs to do. This leads to the next part, goals:


Primary Goals

1. Break the Technocracy of its strangehold on Japan.
2. Revive the Izanagi Clan

Secondary Goals

1. Revive the Izanagi Sword Style
2. Follow up on his commitments and the word of bond he's given for various plots.
